It should be somewhere when you make your profile. Looking through the members rides, it seems many people don't know that even though their car has two doors it doesn't have a trunk, and it should be classified as a hatchback. Just a thought...

Did you even read the linked thread? Not everyone that is into cars knows the difference as the particular definition this site is (and you are) using is US-centric. In most of the rest of the world, coupé means something different (cars with a 2+2 seat configuration). Using this international definition, both the notchback/fastback and the liftback/hatchback versions could be (and are) described as a coupé, hence the confusion.
